I have no plans taking Osinbajo’s Job-Tinubu Reveals

The National Leader of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) and one of the most influential politicians in western Nigeria,
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has insisted that he is not plotting to replace Yemi
Osinbajo as vice-president.

Tinubu
stated this in response to a report, that he may be picked as President
Muhammadu Buhari’s running mate in 2019.

A statement
on Wednesday signed by his spokesman, Tunde Rahman, read: “the people of the
south-west have absolute confidence and are exceedingly proud of the excellent
job Professor Osinbajo is doing as Vice President of Nigeria

“The
attention of the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu Media Office has been drawn to the
front page lead story of The SUN newspaper of yesterday, December 13, 2017,
which sensationally and ridiculously reported that President Muhammadu Buhari
may pick Asiwaju Tinubu as his running mate for the 2019 election. This is a
classic case of utterly and irredeemably fake news.

“There is no
empirical or logical basis for this mischievously speculative story. Is it even
conceivable, as the story recklessly insinuates, that Vice President Yemi
Osinbajo would be considering returning to full church work rather than run
with his boss, President Buhari for a second term if the latter so decides
without as much as discussing such a sensitive issue with his party and with
Asiwaju Tinubu? In any case, is this story not entirely unwarranted and
indefensible as the Buhari/Osinbajo ticket has an electoral mandate of four
years out of which it has spent only over two years and a half years?”

Tinubu
described the report as an attempt to distract the current administration from
its “yeoman’s job” and instigate crisis in the APC.

“This is
clearly an attempt to distract the APC federal government from the yeoman’s job
it has been doing in rescuing the country from the deep-rooted socio-economic,
political, security and moral mess inherited from the PDP’s 16 years misrule of
Nigeria, instigate crisis within the party, stoke dangerous embers of religious
disaffection within the party and the country generally and stem the remarkable
progress being made in the reinvention and revitalization of Nigeria.

“There is
greater sanity, accountability and transparency in the management of the
country’s finances. The Boko Haram insurgency has been substantially contained.
We should not allow ourselves to be derailed from the job we are effectively
undertaking in fulfilling our campaign promises anchored on the tripod of
containing insecurity, taming the scourge of corruption and resuscitating the
economy.

“The Buhari
and Osinbajo-led Federal Government is deftly steering the country out of an
economic recession that was the result of the ineptness of the PDP years of the
locusts. Asiwaju Tinubu will never support any attempt to distract Buhari and
Osinbajo from the job they are passionately doing through the kind of false
report. In particular, this story does great injustice to Vice President
Osinbajo. Here is a man of the highest integrity, moral rectitude, amazing
humility, high intellect and unimpeachable credibility. Here is a man of fierce
loyalty and absolute trustworthiness who will never do anything in word,
thought or deed to undermine his boss. His unquestionable dependability and
indisputable fidelity to his oath of office was demonstrated beyond question by
his honourable conduct during the President’s medical vacation,” the statement
added.
